Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Holcombe hiking shoes are designed for active kids who need reliable footwear for outdoor exploration and trail walking. Featuring a seam-sealed Isotex waterproof membrane and Hydropel technology, these shoes keep feet dry in damp conditions while providing essential cushioning via an EVA footbed. One caveat is that while they are highly durable, the polyester construction may require regular cleaning to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant finish over time.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe; hand wash with warm water and mild soap.
Do I need to treat them with a spray?
They come with a water-resistant finish, but you may want to refresh the exterior treatment after extensive use in very wet conditions.
Are these suitable for school wear?
While durable, they are specifically engineered for hiking and trail use; they are best kept for outdoor activities rather than daily school use.
What size should I buy?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing; we recommend leaving a little room for thicker hiking socks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on wet rock
Ensure the tread is free from packed mud or debris by using a stiff brush to clean the lug gaps.
Water leaking into the shoe
Check the upper for visible tears and ensure the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised; re-apply a water-repellent treatment to the exterior fabric.
General discomfort or rubbing
Verify that the child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks rather than thick cotton socks, which retain sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Regatta Holcombe shoes, proper care is essential. Since they feature specialized waterproof technology, avoid machine washing, which can damage the membrane. Instead, remove loose mud with a soft brush after every hike. If the interior gets wet, remove the footbed and air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Ensure the laces are tightened correctly for each walk to prevent heel slip, which can cause blisters. If the water-repellent performance fades over time, apply a child-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically formulated for waterproof footwear.
